Hi,
One of our products need to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable package(vcredist_x86.exe)". After this installation, our product installation(setup.exe) should continue.
My questions:
1. How do I modify the setup.exe so that vcredist_x86.exe is run prior to running setup.exe..?
2. I have setup.msi file. So I have merged the modules of vcredist_86.exe which is also available as a msm file and the setup.msi. I wanted to convert this updated msi to exe.? Any thoughts on this.?
Any ideas please..
Thank you in advance.

Hello

Try to create a prerquisite with the prerequisite editor and the vcredist in it.
Then you be able to set the setup.exe to install the redist first

1. You could use Prerequisites. If what you need isn't included, create your own using the Prerequisite Editor (Tools menu).
2. You can set the outpput format in the Release Wizard.
